He used the Psychic Treasure Mirror to analyze treasures, and find out about their roots and origins. All items sent into the shop seemed to be shrouded by mist, and one could only discover their special properties through appraisal.

When you first start reading it , the story looks as if it will go the same route as the cliche sign in novels. But surprisingly, it doesn't. MC doesn't get OP at the start of the novel and there is no time skip of him doing the same thing everyday for 10 or 100 years. MC has the cheat of getting reward for doing his job i.e. Appraisal of treasures at a pawnshop. But to not make this too overpowered, the author has put the restriction of baleful aura, if the MC tries to appraise a treasure that is out of his league or has a powerful ghost attached to it, he'll die. In other sign-in or job-reward novels, the MC try to act super low-key and are trash in other people's eyes and hide themselves before doing anything with their power. But here the MC shows his power just enough to be labelled as a genius and get access to appraise more treasures. Smart move if I say so. The world-building is great too, even though the MC doesn't go outside that often, his cheat allows him to see the history of the treasure that comes to the shop to be appraised and he is somehow involved in it. If one notices carefully, the origin of his power being suspicious can also be seen, hints such as him thinking of the pill even though he can't afford it and wondering why is he doing that, when he says he doesn't understand alchemy, a reward is given so that he gets the basics, this isn't plot armor as we read it carefully. He doesn't passively get beaten up or let someone take his life. Active and not overly dependant on his cheat. A really good novel so far.
